UPI apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm often require a PIN or fingerprint to access. This adds an extra layer of protection.
When using UPI apps, ensure you're on a secure Wi-Fi network or use your mobile data. Public Wi-Fi can be less secure.
If your phone is stolen, contact your bank immediately to block your UPI services and prevent unauthorized transactions.
Don't share your UPI PIN or any personal information with anyone over the phone or email. Be cautious of unsolicited messages or calls.
